​Benteke wants regular Liverpool starts or will consider future

Liverpool striker Christian Benteke says he may have to consider his future if it becomes clear that he does not feature in Jurgen Klopp's plans.

Since October, Benteke started just 13 of 52 matches and was used sparingly as a substitute having fallen behind compatriot Divock Origi.

"At 25 years old, I'm neither old nor young but it's important to play," the Belgium striker said.

"I still have a contract at Liverpool and I'd like to stay there, if I remain in the coach's plans. "If that's not the case, it will become difficult to stay. I'll think about if after the Euros."
